easi-joist Attic Trusses

In recent weeks we have had a number of requests for information about the combined easi-joist and attic room in the roof truss, so I have put together a brief information sheet, which shows one of our most recent easi-joist attic truss designs. The pdf can be downloaded from the ‘downloads‘ page and the ‘easi-joist roofing’ page as well as by clicking on the link below.

Building on the Isle of Man

So your planning a new build or even renovating an existing property on the Isle of Man and want the best for your roof and/or floor, well we can help with that. One of the services we provide is design and manufacturer of trussed rafters and easi-joist metal web floor joists on behalf of Builders Merchants. On the Isle of Man we provide this service to MFBP Building Supplies in Douglas and Island Timber & Building Materials Ltd in Ballasalla. (Contact details at bottom of this post)

So why not give them a call or pay them a visit with all the details about your project. They will then contact us, we will produce a design, and when requested manufacture your roof or floor, we will then ship your order to the docks, were MFBP or Island Timber will then take over and deliver your order to site.

One of the biggest projects on the Isle of Man that we have been involved with was for the Isle of Man Government in 2002, we designed and manufactured the roof’s for the Southern Group Health Practice and the Ambulance Station both of which are located in Port Erin. Combined the two buildings consisted of well over 1000 trussed rafters, as well as additional infill timbers and metal fixings. The entire project took about 50 hours in total to manufacture, we broke it up into five phases which were manufactured and delivered over a period of a couple of weeks, mainly because the size of each delivery is restricted to allow it to fit on the ferry but also so that we could continue manufacturing for our other customers as well.

Quotation Acceptance

So you have placed an enquiry with us for trussed rafters and/or easi-joist and we have given you a quotation, What Next. If you are happy with the quotation you have received and no changes are required to the specification then we need you to confirm in writing that the dimensions used to produce the design are accurate and that you wish to place an order, up until now this had to be done either in person, through the post or via a fax, but not anymore you can now place an order online.

By visiting www.eandhbaxendale.com/place-order.php you can confirm that the dimensions used to produce the design are accurate and place an order with us telling us when and where you would like your order delivering and how you will be paying for it. Another useful feature of this new form is that it allows you to confirm to us the dimensions for stairs in floor designs, the stairs and stairwell opening are critical in a floor design, if we don’t have accurate measurements we can’t guarantee that the joists will work.

We are also working to make it even easier for you to pay for your order, we now have debit card facilities installed any order paid for using a debit card will be treated just the same as an order paid for by cash and so should mean your order will be processed and delivered quicker than if you were to pay by cheque which can take up to five days to clear.

Trussed Rafter & Joist Connectors Update

Today we received the updated Timber Engineering Connectors brochures from Cullen Building Products, the updated brochures have had all the product codes updated to the new standard format, old discontinued connectors have been removed and new connectors have been added. One of the biggest changes though is the inclusion of the new EC5 Euro-code specifications which come into force in March 2010, it does however mean that there is much more information for each connector. Over the coming weeks I will be working on updating our site with the new connectors as well as linking them to the relevant pdf data sheets over on the new Cullen website.

Website Update

Today I modified the navigation panel slightly by renaming the ‘Roofing’ section ‘Trussed Rafters’ and the ‘Flooring’ section ‘easi-joist’, I also moved … As I wrote this post I was distracted by a smell of burning and the hallway filling with smoke, it seems my idiot brother put something under the grill and then decided to leave it unattended, disaster averted now back to the topic at hand.

… As I was saying I have also moved the easi-joist Roofing page out of the now ‘Trussed Rafter’ section and into the now ‘easi-joist’ section, I have also updated the breadcrumbs at the top of each page. I am planning on starting work on a new page for the easi-joist attic truss, I don’t know which section I will put it in yet because it is both a trussed rafter and an easi-joist, I could always put it in both sections I suppose. One option would be to put it in the trussed rafter section and then create a link to it from the easi-joist roofing page where some information about the easi-joist attic truss already exists.

easi-joist attic enquiry

Today we supplied our first quotation for the new easi-joist attic truss system from Wolf Systems Ltd, we were recently approached to provide a quotation for an easi-joist attic roof for a large garage with dormers, we sent the job to Wolf Systems Ltd (they supply the design software, the nailplates and easi-joist webs) design office because currently only they can produce the design. It took about five days but the job landed back on our desks today, so after looking over the job we costed it up and then forwarded the quotation on to the customer, but the job isn’t over because we still have to complete the design for the hipped raised-tie trussed rafter roof over a swimming pool.

More information about the easi-joist attic system will be made available during the coming weeks, in the mean time you can find some information in a recent blog post called ‘Introducing easi-attics‘ or by visiting the easi-joist roofing page of our site.
